In Cuba, most of the coffee beans are picked by hand. Coffee beans are picked about every half a month during the ripening period. During or after picking, coffee beans are classified and those immature and bad beans are removed to ensure the quality of the coffee. Cubans usually deal with coffee beans in two ways-tanning and washing. Tanning is the simplest, cheapest and most traditional way to treat coffee, which is to let the coffee fruit dry in the sun but not ferment. The general drying time is about four weeks. The washing rule makes the aroma of the fruit more into the coffee beans, thus adding a coarse fruit aroma to the coffee.

At present, Crystal Mountain Coffee is very precious. This is mainly for two reasons. The first reason is the economic sanctions imposed by the United States against Cuba and the non-opening up of Cuban imports. The second reason is that at present, Cuban coffee beans are mostly acquired by the French and Japanese markets, especially Japan, so it is difficult to buy coffee beans directly from Cuba. In spite of this, the status of Cuban coffee in the hearts of global coffee lovers can still be compared with Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee.
